Right, as the job types grows, and we don't even have control of them (plugins)
we need some other way of grouping them more generally. Otherwise we cannot do
cool things like installing a plugin and it will just work. We would need to
set a worker for that. I'm sure you will insist on the ---not use for that, but
think how we would solve the real-time vs. no hurry use cases in a generic way.
It is plain straight-forward to just 'subscribe to a queue' for authors.
